ROS,

   

Dear Professor Lederberg,

I beg to thank you very won for your letter of the 25th
- dune and for your recommend g once more my application with
the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft.: te

The ‘application was said to be digoussed at the lest meet ine
of the Deutsche Forschungsgeeinschaft, which took place on the-
14th July... Unfortunately the ddefinitfye decision Ras been post-
poned. The commission wanted to know:‘before, if I-shall have ~-
the possibility to redume my present :position at the Technical
University’ after returning from the United States. This question
has been answered in the affgrmative,. and I do hope that theres:
will. no longer. be objections and that my aphlication will be *¥.
granked at the next meeting, which wit probably take place in’
September... Lie ORS a

 

 

My application has been fut in already in Pebguary, and: I .
think it: surprising, how. longa time it takes: unt] it comes te
a decision in this matter. I shall not be abte to ‘start fox,
Madison until November or December, and I an dnxioqus thet my
staying at your, institute might comne..at a very ingonvenient:

time. ; ae
